Mecca is the holyest place for the Muslims. After all that is where Muhammad started the religion. There is a big tent that is called tha Kaaba there. Before the people in Mecca who did not support the Islamic religion and culture did not like Muhammad and his followers. Muhammad and his companions, now 10,000 strong, decided to march into Mecca. However, instead of continuing their fight, the city of Mecca surrendered to Muhammad and his followers, who rather than seeking revenge for years of severe persecution, declared amnesty for the inhabitants.
